An enlarged prostate treatment will typically involved the use of a catheter that somehow blocks excess blood flow to the prostate and gradually causes it to diminish in size. Relief is obtained through such methods in about 80-90% of cases, which is pretty great when you think about it.
However, can enlarged prostate treatment options Colorado clinics offer be applied without using invasive treatments such as prostate artery embolization? In other words, can you treat the problem through natural means using a special diet or some home remedies that might work?
The following natural treatments have been said to present some evidence of relief, although doctors are still not convinced of their definite efficiency:
- Rye grass pollen extract is known to improve nighttime symptoms of impaired urination, one study showing that it had excellent results compared with a placebo.
- Pygeum is a substance that comes from an African plum tree and is known to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia with a significant level of effectiveness. Studies show it to be effective as an alternative form of medicine, though there are also some mild side effects like headaches and an upset stomach.
- The herbal remedy known as saw palmetto comes from a palm tree fruit that has been known to provide alternative treatments for hundreds of years to treat all kinds of urinary symptoms. Small scale studies show saw palmetto as a possibly effective treatment for BPH.
